The Learning Spaces Technology team provides A/V consulting, management, and support for 25 technology-equipped TILE learning spaces across campus.

Classroom technology in TILE learning spaces supports student-centered, active learning pedagogy with wall-lined whiteboards and flexible seating options that provide a collaborative atmosphere for inquiry-guided learning. These learning spaces range in size from 24 to 81 seats and are managed by Classroom Scheduling. 

In addition to the TILE learning space, two other variations of learning spaces are supported called TILE-Flex and TILE-Lite learning spaces. For additional information, about the different TILE rooms, please visit the Classrooms TILE page.
